Danitrio Hakkaku with Clip
Fountain Pens

The Hakkuku is Danitrio's octagonal fountain pen. With a closed length of 5 13/16 inches and a weight of 26.5 grams, this is a full but not over-sized pen that will be a comfortable fit for most users. The eight-faceted shape displays both solid colors and complex motifs to great effect, and offers a particularly strong showcase for the Tame-nuri colors.

All Danitrio pens are available from us as special order items - pens already in stock with Danitrio will generally ship in one week or less.

In Tame-Nuri technique, semi-transparent amber-colored urushi is painted over a base color. As the natural urushi matures, the outer layer becomes more transparent and the underlying color shows through more brightly.

In this Ginnami-nuri pen, a wave effect is created by using ultra-thin lines painted in urushi lacquer which is then dried and burnished. Black urushi and silver powder are then added and the entire surface polished in Roiro-shiage style. Retail $1700, our price $1360.

Hakkaku collection pens are furnished with the 18k Danitrio #6 nib, available in Soft Extra Extra Fine, Soft Extra Fine, Soft Fine, Soft Medium, Soft Broad, and Soft Stub. Standard (not Soft) nibs are also available in Fine and Stub. These 18k nibs are well-suited to customizations such as Cursive Italic and Left Oblique - see our nib customizations page for more information.
